With the government in crisis,
the Russian Republic...
:02:03
was entering into what can only
be described as a state of civil war.
:02:07
Then yesterday at dawn,
Radchenko and rebel forces...
:02:10
seized the region around Vladivostok,
including a naval base...
:02:14
and a nuclear missile base
housing Russian ICBMs.
:02:17
As regular Russian military forces
move in to encircle Radchenko...
:02:23
allied military forces
are in a state of high alert.
:02:26
These French planes
taking off behind me...
:02:28
have been deployed near the Caucasus
since the beginning of the crisis...
:02:32
and a crisis which started
in the Caucasus
:02:35
has now spread to the Far East...
:02:37
and appears to be turning into the worst
standoff since the Cuban missile crisis.
:02:42
This is Richard Valeriani
reporting live for CNN...
:02:45
from the French aircraft carrier Foch,
somewhere in the Mediterranean.
:02:55
Abracadabra!
:02:57
- I can't hear you.
- [Screaming] Abracadabra!
:03:01
[Children Exclaiming]
:03:04
I need a volunteer
from the audience.
:03:08
- [Kids] Me! Me!
- Me, me, me!
:03:10
A brave volunteer.
:03:13
[Kids] Me! Me! Me!
:03:15
Preferably...
:03:17
Preferably somebody who was born
on October 18...
:03:20
nineteen hundred and ninety.
:03:23
That's you, honey. That's you.
:03:26
[Magician] Over here? Over here?
:03:28
Ahh! You must be the birthday girl.
:03:32
- What's your name?
- Robin.
:03:34
[TV] Russian ultranationalist leader,
backed by his rebel army...
:03:37
threatened nuclear attack
on the United States and Japan.
:03:42
The threats come as a response
to U.S. Involvement in Chechnya...
:03:45
and are not considered idle.
:03:47
Now sit on the board.
:03:49
And tell me, Robin,
do you believe in magic?
:03:52
- Where'd he go?
- Good. Because if you believe...
:03:54
- I'll get him.
- We can suspend you in the air...
:03:56
- Be right back.
- Without the help of a flying carpet.
:03:58
Meeting in an emergency session...
